While the comforts of a hotel are undeniable (see: room service, restaurant bookings and kids clubs) there is something particularly special about renting a villa: especially when it comes to a family holiday, or a party booking that requires multiple rooms.

And it feels particularly right when in Italy, where La Familia is at the heart of the culture. Finding somewhere that ticks everyone in your group’s boxes though is always going to be a difficulty, with considerations like accommodation, children-friendly spaces and access to private chefs or other activities competing for your attention.
